Hi,Everything I have read regarding Topamax has had a mention of cognitive impairment to some degree. I did not set myself up with a predisposition of that side effect it was just noticable to me. Perhaps it has a connection to heavy work in the Temporal lobes, I don't know. I do know alot of people are happy with Topamax. JN
